7 Players Who've Played for Both Arsenal & Real Madrid

Arsenal's pre-season match against Real Madrid on Wednesday is a whole lot more than just a friendly match for those in attendance at the FedExField in Maryland.

It will be a clash between two of European football's biggest names, who despite their status as top dogs have only ever played each other twice in competitive competitions - a two-legged Champions League match which was settled by Thierry Henry's goal at the Santiago Bernabéu.

But both club's do have a very similar eye in the transfer market, with soon-to-be-announced Dani Ceballos set to become the sixth player in history to move directly between Arsenal and Real Madrid.
